It is my belief that the Saints would really like to trade back for additional picks in this draft. So just for a second lets all assume the Saints find the trade partner they are searching for and move the 15th overall pick. Now the Saints (after the trade) find themselves selecting somewhere between picks 25-30. Who are now your top realistic options at this point in the draft?_________________

The more I look at it, it seems like Jarvis Jones at 15 or bust. Having said that, if JJ is already gone by 15 and or the Saints have removed him from the board due to medical concerns... this draft is primed for a trade back from the 15th selection.

At 15 I have a good feeling that a coveted player in this drat... someone whom the Saints may not be interested in but others will, will make our pick a valuable asset once we go on the clock.

Players that seem to be prime guys to possibly make our pick one in high demand are...

Agreed... curious why, I actually think Werner would be a solid pick. Sure maybe not the sexiest but solid.

Haven't you heard? We're running a 3-4 now.

He would be a HUGE project to switch to 3-4 OLB. We can't afford to have a project edge rusher, especially with Martez and Galette already on the roster.

You do realize that at FSU, when Jenkins was lost to injury it was Werner who was used as a stand up rusher when FSU went into there multi front looks right?

Werner actually was very successful in this formation and it was that combined with the fact that he impressed scouts in LB drills at the FSU proday makes Werner even less a project as a 34 OLB than some other DE prospects.

Ryan does not ask his OLB to drop into coverage much at all if any at times. Werner would fit, he'd be a Ryan Kerrigan type. High motor hustle player that possesses a good get off and knack for getting to the QB._________________

Playing as a backup standup rusher in a multi look defense is a bit different than playing a full time 3-4 OLB.

What are the differences between him, Martez, and Galette?

Huh? Werner is known for taking plays off if the action isn't on his side, or jogging instead of running at times as well. As for good get off and knack for getting to the QB, why can't Galette or Wilson be that guy for us? Do we really need to spend pick #15 for a guy that will fill the same role as 2 others on the roster?

I would not take Werner personally, I was just saying that he is considered a fit in the scheme by scouts._________________
